A friend was a member so I thought I would give Inspirational Life a try. I have been to many gyms and fitness centers over the years, but have been motivated the most by Brian and Cathie. This is the longest fitness program I have every stuck with.

How did Inspirationalhelp you achieve your goal and how have the results affected your life?

It took a couple of years, but I was able to shed 20+ pounds from attending fitness boot camps, becoming more conscientious about what I ate and focused on incorporating healthy lifestyle changes. More often, I now think twice before I eat or drink something I probably should not. I have also increased my water intake substantially since I joined Inspirational.

I have more energy and still enjoy coming to the fitness boot camps. Brian and Cathie change it up so it never gets monotonous. I have met many nice people here and I enjoy seeing them at the classes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Cut up cauliflower into flowerets and steamer for 6-7 minutes. Drain thoroughly in between paper towels until the flowerets are dry.

Drain and rinse black beans and chick peas and saute over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Cut the end of cleaned zucchini and spiralize whiles beans are cooking. Slice zucchini a couple of times so that the noodles are not too long to eat. In large pan, LIGHTLY spray with cooking oil. Add clove of garlic, chopped red pepper and spiralized zucchini. Season with sea salt, black pepper and optional cayenne pepper. Cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Be careful not to overcook as they get soggy quickly. Toss zucchini mixture with beans and enjoy!

A few years ago I noticed my body changing from getting older and being less active. Feeling lazy and annoyed with my inconsistent good habits, I didn’t want to continue to age this way. I wanted to feel healthier and be stronger. I first recommended Inspirational Life to a friend based on good things I had heard and then decided I should listen to my own advice.

Inspirational Life has been perfect for me. Brian and Cathie are very inspiring with their own laser focus and belief in each of us. They are constantly challenging me in and outside the gym and I’ve become the strongest I’ve been. The super early AM classes they offer make it so that my time at the gym doesn’t take away from my time with my family. Until I participated in the No Sugar Challenge, I thought I was a healthy eater. The challenge was truly an eye opener to how much better my nutrition could be.

I love knowing how much stronger still I am capable of becoming, how the discipline of my actions have carried over into other aspects of my life and how much better I consistently feel. My husband and boys have each made conscience lifestyle changes as a result of my actions as well.

Position oven rack to lower position and preheat to 400 degrees. Spray medium skillet with cooking spray, add garlic and onions and cook until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in cider vinegar.

While onion mixture is cooking, combine sage, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, nutmeg and ground turkey. Mix well and form into 6 equal balls. Place one turkey ball on top of each mushroom and press down to fill cap.

Place on baking sheet and bake on the bottom rack until the mushrooms begin to soften , about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each with the onion mixture and then cheese. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and turkey is cooked, about 5 minutes.

Combine the cooked ground turkey, salsa, and sliced kidney beans in small bowl. Cut the bell pepper into 4 quarters removing the seeds and membrane. Evenly fill each pepper boat with the ground turkey mixture. Sprinkle the 2% cheese over each. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
